Is a unique tool that creates the proper sub floor slope needed underneath the pan liner to manipulate the water towards the weep holes that are integral part of shower floor drains.

Includes 6 Standard Sticks, Tape, and Screws

Mark E Pre-Pitch Shower Sub Floor Slope Pitch Standard Kit

This sloping tool is ONLY for setting slope for buried rubber/pvc liner NOT for tile slope

(For setting tile slope on top of rubber/pvc liner, use Quick Pitch components.)

Creates the proper sub floor pitch (approximate 1/4" per 12" run) needed to direct water flow towards the weep holes that are an integral part of shower floor drains

By having a pitch under the pan liner, water that passes through the mud bed is now directed to the weep holes instead of being trapped between the mud bed and the liner.

Install this first before the rubber/pvc liner (bladder)

If a liner is not sloped, a shower can exhibit a "ponding" effect within the shower floor. This 'ponding' or collection of water is where many mold and mildew related issues originate. Non high-performance grouts can actually begin to fail in these conditions.

The plastic Pre-Pitch sticks have holes in their vertical web which helps to act as reinforcement

Easily cut with a hacksaw, PVC cutter or dry diamond blade

For wood subfloors, Pre-Pitch can be screwed or nailed in place

For concrete subfloors, use two sided tape

Subfloor must be level, sound and properly prepared prior to installing

Standard sticks measure 1/8" to 7/8" taper x 36" long

For standard shower areas with a centered drain, or custom shower areas where the drain is within 36" of each wall

For shower areas where the walls are more than 36" but less than 72" from the floor drain, add on Pre-Pitch Extension Sticks
